Background. The incidence of tubal ectopic gestation caused by schistosomiasis induced tubal pathology is undocumented in this environment, which may be due to rarity of this pathology. Bilateral tubal gestation is common in patients that have undergone in vitro fertilization. We report a hitherto undocumented case of spontaneous bilateral ectopic gestation following tubal schistosomiasis. Case...

BACKGROUND We wanted to find the most frequent site of placental implantation at 18 weeks' gestation and placental migration during gestation. METHODS Placental location was identified in 2,526 singleton pregnancies at 18 weeks' gestation and characterized into nine groups. Placental migration in 1,336 of these pregnancies was assessed by serial ultrasonography. RESULTS At 18 weeks' gestati...

graphical grain count per labeled cell on the 20th day of gestation didn't differ from that on the 22nd day of gestation. These results indicate that the generation time of the adrenal medullary cell in SHR became more longer on successive day of gestation. However, there was no significant difference of the histology and histoautoradiography between SHR and control. Ultrastructurally, most of ...

  Abstract   A32 year-old multigravid patient with 10 weeks of pregnancy was referred to the emergency ward with massive vaginal bleeding and preshock state. Suction curettage, laparotomy, uterine artery ligation, Macdonald cerclage, and hysterectomy was done, in that order. After hysterectomy and massive transfusion she recovered. When a diagnosis of cesarean scar pregnancy is made in the emer...

1. Although disrupted parturition and high foetal losses have previously been reported in pregnant rats maintained on zinc-deficient diets this is the first report to differentiate between the effects of reduced Zn intake and the effects of reduced food intake on the outcome of pregnancy in the rat. 2. Rats maintained on a 0.5 mg Zn/kg diet for the last 7 d of gestation or on a 5 mg Zn/kg diet ...

Forty-six beef heifers (16 to 23 mo) of two biological types (small = Red Poll-sired, large = Charolais-sired) were individually fed from d 90 of gestation through parturition to evaluate the effects of nutritional restriction on plasma LH and steroid hormone concentrations. Heifers were allotted to one of two nutritional treatments to achieve a BW reduction (loss, fed at 1% of BW/d) or to main...
